Get Ready
The quicker you get ready, the less you will cry
Fix yourself up, make yourself look pretty
It will distract you from the sting of goodbye
Not so wise women say fools rush in, and they were right
“No use rushing in with someone so witty
The quicker you get ready, the less you will cry”
“Will do you no good, falling from that height
Back to the pavement of this dark city”
It will distract you from the sting of goodbye
I tried to spread my wings and take flight
But the people had told me I was much to giddy
“The quicker you get ready, the less you will cry”
But I prayed and I begged with all my might
That to say goodbye would be such a pity
It will distract you from the sting of goodbye?
I’ll curse you forever, leaving out of spite
I shall never in my whole life admit he
“Will distract you from the sting of goodbye”
The quicker you get ready, the less you will cry?
